絵本曽我物語 1
A Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) of 1883, compiled by Ichisaku Koji and illustrated by Hokkyo Chuwa, published in Tokyo by Kinkodo for general readers of the Soga tale. The woodblock-style prints show scenes of courtly and samurai figures in architectural interiors and gardens, with captions in vertical columns beside each image. A designer might take the clean ink-line compositions, the framing of figures within sliding-screen rooms, and the vertical text panels as layout references.
